Whenever the PC vs console piracy debate comes up, I immediately think back to all of the many threads (here and elsewhere) where I have heard things like, "I already bought it on Xbox/PS, so I just torrented the PC version." I think about my brother-in-law, who buys console versions and pirates the PC version. Or my nephew, who admits he does the same. Or my neighbor, whose computer I keep having to fix because he gets viruses and trojans from warez sites from downloading PC games. When I ask why he doesn't just buy the games, he states there's no way he's going to pay for them twice - he already paid for them for his PS3.

I can't help but be taken aback by the irony of 'consolers' deriding PC gamers about the level of PC game piracy when a HUGE portion of piracy is by console gamers who have no stake in the platform, thus don't care about its future, or if it even is going to have one.
